Book Review

Rethinking Environmental History: World-System History and Global Environmental Change. Edited by Alf Hornborg, J. R. McNeill, and Joan Martinez-Alier. Lanham, MD: Altamira Press, 2007. xvi + 406 pp. Maps, figures, tables, index. Paper $39.95.

This hefty anthology brings together twenty-two scholars devoted to developing new global approaches to environmental history. The authors—anthropologists, economists, geographers, historians, and sociologists—display a wide variety of questions, methodologies, and analytical frameworks, and yet their contributions form a coherent whole that is theoretically sophisticated, geographically far-reaching, and historically specific all at once. This stems from the authors' willingness to engage the biggest of problems from the unequal global distribution of environmental burdens to the prospects of long-term sustainability of human-environmental relations.
